Climate Change/global warming

New sources of energy development

National infrastructure repair and rebuilding

Minimum Wage

Gross Inequality of wealth and income in America

Campaign finance reform

Regulation and oversight of the banking industry

Appropriate oversight of the CIA and the NSA

Veterans' health care

Highway trust fund shortfall

Long term unemployment benefits

Budget deficit, rising national debt

Every one of these issues is of vital importance to this nation's well being and stability. And yet most of them languish on the backburner of this Congress, out of sight, out of mind. As a result, they are all festering and growing worse each and every day?

We desperately need to create jobs for Americans but nothing is being done; Immigration reform is a complex issue but there are solutions if there were compromise; our tax code system for individuals and corporations badly needs restructuring but Congress looks the other way even as more and more corporations use "tax inversion" tactics as a loophole to significantly reduce their taxes. Our roads, bridges and electrical grid are rapidly deteriorating; the problem is totally ignored.
